Thread Name: Meaning of 'seanmas'- Gaelic?
Subject: Meaning of 'seanmas'- Gaelic?
My beloved partner Byron formed a duo with a harpist, and they called themselves "Seanmas". Byron said he found the word somewhere on-line, and that it meant "minstrels" or "musicians" in Irish. I haven't been able to find this word, so am wondering if someone here can confirm or refute it. I have revived the duo with the harpist, and we want to keep the name, but want to be sure to use it correctly!
I've tried to find an Irish-English on-line dictionary, but they all seem to need me to subscribe.
